These are the stupid memories that stick with you when you grow up though.
Nobody remembers all the times their parents just said no and dismissed your curiosity. But we absolutely remember the times where our parents engaged in our curiosity.
Good dad. Good kid. A bit of a waste of butter, but it was worth it for the internet points and bonding between parent and child.
It’s always weird trying to put in perspective how valuable the things we waste are. Like to us, butter is a couple dollars, cuz it’s never not there, we don’t have to think about how much butter there is. There is no other tangible cost than the simple dollar value. So like if you compare it to going to see a movie in the theater, the dollar value kind of makes sense of using this butter for entertainment and teaching. But if butter didn’t feel potentially unlimited to us, the cost might then not feel worth it, even if the dollar value didn’t change.
